Quality of Life Update v1.0.21
Since the launch in September we've been updating the game, fixing bugs, removing and adding things players have pointed out to us.
Today what we have is a slightly bigger update that we think will make playing our game a better experience:
New Map Movement System
Open the map / choose any room already visited / there you are!
Faster movement when out of combat
More mobility! Can be disabled on Options Menu.
New Poison System
Stepping on poison won't get you poisoned immediately. It's only fair, right?
Convenient Loot Grab
Gold and runes are automatically collected after you clear a room. Why not?
Reducing Loading Times
The game now loads faster between floors.
A Bunch of Bug Fixing
Some were simple, some were more severe, but what matters is that they've been fixed.
Supported Languages
We now have:
English
Portuguese - Brazil
Russian
French
Spanish - Spain
Spanish - Latin America
A Word About New Content
We're not blind. We've seen your feedback on the forums and on reviews requesting new content. New enemies, new items, new areas. It breaks our hearts to read this from players that loved the game, but think the game is not on its full potential because of the lack of content.
And I agree with that.
We've been making some evaluations and we were even talking with a publisher that had some interest on investing on a paid DLC.
The truth is, the sales of the game were not terrible, but it didn't let room for a significant update. If we work on this and it doesn't bring enough results it could put us out of business.
With all that being said, I'd like to know from you:

What kind of new content would you like to see?
Would you be cool with paying (between 2$ and 5$) for the DLC?

THE FORGE - New boss!
We’re putting the final touches of the new boss. I’d love to hear your opinions about the visuals of it: We tried to design a really different boss and it was a lot of trouble to make it work properly. I’m looking forward to see some of you becoming dragon food! -Ed BEHEMUTT
